In , Sam Halliday (fommil) wrote : ~/.esd.conf not mentioned in the esd(1) man page

Package: esound-common
Version: 0.2.29-1

the man page for esd only lists the following in the FILES section

  /etc/esound/esd.conf daemon configuration file

and makes no reference to ~/.esd.conf and therefore no mention of the
order which the files are parsed, nor when they are parsed (which is not
obvious with esd).

i suggest that the FILES section be changed to

FILES
     esd will read configuration files in the following order upon a
spawn request: ~/.esd.conf, then /etc/esound/esd.conf. These files will
not be parsed if the user starts the daemon on the command line. Please
see esd.conf(5) for the options and formatting of these files.

a large chunk of the text in the man page for esd could then be moved
into a seperate esd.conf(5) man page
